Hello Everyone.

And once again, greetings from Kyoto Japan.

Today has been with a lot of exercise and walking. We climbed up to a famous temple with a huge balcony - Much like Katherine.

There was a ton of tourists so we had to make do.
We ate a lunch a little too late, so it was actually more like early dinner, so neither me or my dad feels up for eating. Also I am beat for today.

We did manage to find some shops 😊 a cozy old shop that sold some really beautiful cooking knives - we both bought one.
And I also bought some Japanese wood cutlery for eating - much including chopsticks in some really elegant shiny wood.

The Japanese are an intriguing people, and there are a ton of things that foreigners sorta has to learn to do, and not to do. Especially when eating. Chopstick must never point upwards or be left tilted in the bowl. You have to leave them on the side.
The people of Japan are all about tradition… and trinkets 😳 damn do they sell a lot to tourists.
I am not really into trinkets or amulets. I want something useful. I like to cook, so a cooking knife and some bowls to eat what I make is perfect.

We have been hanging with some friends these last few days - which has been really fun, including an American born artist who lives in Japan and has done so for years, and his wife.
They are so fun and it has been great hanging with them. Somehow, it makes the strange world seem a little less… intimidating.

Oh oh oh, and the people here, especially the girls, they love dressing up in kimonos and they look absolutely spectacular ♥️ It’s so amazing to see.

Yours truly
